Natural Gas Geyser

Natural Gas Geyser can be found in Swamp and Caustic Biomes and are a renewable direct source of Natural Gas. Either biome can have one exposed Natural Gas Geyser. If a Natural Gas Geyser was not generated, two Chlorine Gas Vents may appear instead.

During the eruption, emission can be blocked by over-pressurization. The maximum pressure it will emit at is 5 kg. The emission has a radius of 2, meaning that it can produce its outputs even if center tiles are over-pressurized, as long as there is a valid, reachable spot to place the output in a 5x5 block. In practice, this means that an over-pressurized Geyser should have at least free space at least two tiles high between it and the ceiling, and one tile width free spaces to both its left and right.

Tips

 * Burning Natural Gas from Geysers can be tempting as free energy source, but keep in mind that array of Natural Gas Generators produce significant amount of Carbon Dioxide, that eventually has to be dealt with, not to mention Polluted Water.


 * Use an Atmo Sensor to shut down the Gas Pump when gas pressure drops; this helps to ensure power efficiency of the pump and also prevents damage from the initial burst of 150 °C gas.
